What the numbers say
In 2024, Nicaragua's PPG, other private creditors (NFL, current US$) rose US$1.97 million on 2023 (from −US$1.97 million to US$0).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1980 to 2023), the average change was +US$15,933 and a typical year strayed about US$8.64 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$54.04 million in 1977 and the biggest yearly fall was US$48.44 million in 1978. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2017 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 18% of the movement over 8 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
